About a mile downstream, Levi was found unconscious by local police.After being told he was brain dead and not likely to live, the boy started to show signs of improvement.“LEVI AWAKENED!” We don’t know much, but the doctor told me it was okay to be excited about that, and I AM! “My child is really tough!” his mom Kallie Wright wrote on Facebook.MRI results the next day “weren’t good,” which was a shame.“We are broken, but it’s just pictures that show a certain way of life.” “What Levi does over the next few days will really tell us everything,” Kallie said.Family and friends of Levi kept asking for prayers while he fought in the hospital.On June 2, Kallie told me some terrible news“After many sleepless nights, a lot of research, many talks with the best neurologists in the world, and millions of prayers, we are here facing our biggest fear,” she wrote. “Levi only showed us enough to buy us some time.” He did those things to show us that he wanted to stay here, even though the odds were against him. Now we know that he just wanted to give us time to be okay with letting him go.Levi Wright’s family turned off his life support after many tests, scans, and consultations.The next day, Mindy Sue Clark, a family friend, wrote on Facebook that Levi had died.“The last two weeks have been so hard that I can’t even begin to describe them.” The phone rang the night of his accident and I got the message that he had to leave last night. That’s why I don’t want to think about the bad or sad things. It hurts like someone tore my heart out and squished it right in front of me. What I want to talk about is all the miracles we saw during those 12 days.“The most wonderful three-year-old ever.” He was so perfect that we couldn’t keep him. In the last 12 days, this baby boy did a lot. He got a lot of people to get together. A child brought light into a very dark world. His parents could not have asked for a better child.During this very hard time, our thoughts and prayers are with the Wright family.
Old Man Helps Single Mom Fix Baby Stroller, Next Day Sees Private Jet Landing For Him
An elderly man steps in to help a struggling single mom when a wheel falls off her baby’s stroller. Days later, he finds himself aboard a private jet, en route to a tropical paradise.
At seventy-two, Joseph Benjamin had settled into a quiet, predictable routine. Widowed and with his two grown children living far away, Joe’s days were simple. He would wake with the sunrise, ride his bike to the bakery for fresh rolls, and spend his afternoons tinkering in his workshop. Life had become a calm, steady rhythm — until the day he met April and her baby, Emma.
That morning, Joe was cycling to the bakery when he spotted a young woman in a grey tracksuit, struggling with an old-fashioned stroller. One of the wheels had come loose, and she was desperately trying to fix it while her baby cried inside the uneven stroller.
“Excuse me,” Joe offered gently. “Do you need a hand?”
The woman looked up, tears filling her eyes. “Yes,” she said, her voice breaking. “I think I do.”
Seeing her distress, Joe awkwardly patted her shoulder. “It’s alright,” he reassured her. “We’ll have this stroller fixed in no time.”
The woman, wiping her tears, explained through sobs, “I should never have brought this old stroller out… it was mine when I was a baby. I guess I got nostalgic.”
Joe smiled warmly. “I understand that feeling. I saved all my children’s old toys, and my grandkids love them. Let’s see what we can do.”
He took out his tool kit from his bike and quickly diagnosed the problem — a loose lug nut. “It’s not broken, just needs tightening,” he said. “But you might want to take the baby out first. The wheel could give a bit of a jolt.”
As April picked up her baby, Joe worked on the stroller. A moment later, the wheel clicked back into place. “There you go,” Joe announced, “good as new!”
April smiled brightly, holding her baby close. “Thank you! You’ve saved my day. It’s my first one back in Cheyenne, and it was turning into a disaster.”
“Where were you before?” Joe asked.
“I was in California for college,” she replied.
“You’re lucky,” Joe said with a sigh. “I’ve never been to California or even seen the ocean.”
April’s face softened. “It’s beautiful there, but I wanted my daughter to grow up here, in my hometown.”
As they continued to chat, Joe shared his own story of rarely seeing his children and grandchildren. April, who introduced her baby as Emma, told him how much she missed her parents, who had passed away a year ago. Their conversation was easy, comforting.
“Why don’t you and Emma join an old man for coffee?” Joe suggested, pointing to his favorite café across the street. April gladly accepted, and they spent the rest of the morning together.
As they were leaving, April said, “Emma and I are going on a little trip tomorrow. How about you come with us?”
Surprised but delighted, Joe agreed. The next morning, a sleek black car with a chauffeur arrived at Joe’s home to pick him up. “Where are we going?” Joe asked, still in disbelief.
April, with a playful grin, replied, “It’s a surprise!” The car drove them straight onto the tarmac at a local airport, where a luxurious private jet awaited.
“Wait… what’s going on?” Joe asked, wide-eyed.
“We’re going to the beach,” April said, smiling. “You’re finally going to see the ocean!”
Joe could hardly believe it. He had never flown in his life, let alone traveled in a private jet. As they took off, Joe was overwhelmed with joy. “I can’t believe this! I’m actually flying — and I’ll see the ocean!”
April explained that she had inherited a private jet charter company from her parents, and she always had a plane ready for trips. From that day on, Joe became a regular guest on April and Emma’s vacations, becoming a surrogate grandfather to the little girl.
This story reminds us that life can bring unexpected joys. Joe thought he had seen everything life had to offer, but one small act of kindness opened the door to incredible new experiences. His simple gesture not only helped a young mom in need but also led to fulfilling his lifelong dream — proving that kindness truly has the power to change lives.
